Need battery for Canon Rebel XT - macphanatic - 12-09-2008
Found the oem version for $33 from Amazon. However, SterlingTek has a 1700 mAH replacement for about $17 plus shipping. The OEM battery is 720 mAH. Has anyone used batteries from SterlingTek? Curious about their reliability and longevity.

SterlingTek generally has a good product at a reasonable price. Personal experience.

I have two of the SterlingTek BP-511s. They've held up fine for the last 18 months or so. Seem to deal with low temperatures better than my Canon branded batteries.
As for the higher capacity:

Thanks for the link. In it I found Diamondback Batteries. Looks like those that bought from Diamondback were pleased with their purchase. I think I might give them a shot along with the ac/dc battery charger.

I too have that Sterlingtek battery, which has held up for over 3 years.
